Preservation Standards AND Guidelines August 1, 2012 ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW: ACTIONS THAT REQUIRE REVIEW AND MAY BE ADMINISTRATIVELY APPROVED 3.6.33: Shutters are only permitted where they existed historically, and where they are appropriate to the style and character of the house. Inappropriate shutters are encouraged to be removed. 3.6.34: Shutters must be half the width of the window and mounted to be or appear operational. Awnings MAINTENANCE: ACTIONS THAT DO NOT REQUIRE REVIEW 3.6.35: Awnings on windows and doors provide shade and help reduce heat gain and the need to lower the thermostat setting on hot days. 3.6.36: Retractable awnings allow sunlight into windows for passive heat gain during the winter. Unretractable awnings can provide a wind break during the winter and reduce air infiltration through windows and doors. 3.6.37: Maintain and preserve historic awnings that contribute to the historic character of a building and help reduce energy use. 3.6.38: Retain and preserve the material integrity of existing historic awnings, which can be wood, metal or fabric with wood or metal frames. ADMINISTRATIVE REVIEW: ACTIONS THAT REQUIRE REVIEW AND MAY BE ADMINISTRATIVELY APPROVED 3.6.39: Awnings shall be placed so as to avoid obscuring details of a building facade. 3.6.40: New awnings installed at a property where awnings have not been documented before must be made of canvas or other fabric material on a metal frame, and may be either fixed, retractable or operable. 3.6.41: New wood awnings may be installed provided that documentation regarding their use historically at the property or in the district is presented and their use is consistent with the style of and location on the building for which they are proposed. 3.6.42: Plastic awnings are not permitted. 3.6.43: Metal awnings may be used if the size, color and design are compatible with the district and architectural style of the building. 3.6.44: Generally inappropriate, plastic or metal awnings that existed prior to a district or property being zoned HP or HL may remain and shall be kept in good repair. Inappropriate awnings that are not kept in good repair shall be removed in their entirety. An arched awning is appropriate for a arched opening (left, 2109 NW 25th Street). A drop front or shed awning is appropriate for rectangular openings (right,2141 NW 25th Street). Oklahoma City Historic Districts 90
Preservation Standards AND Guidelines August 1, 2012 3.6.45: Fabric or canvas awnings must be a "drop-front" or "shed" style, except at arched window openings. 3.6.46: Consider the longevity of the fabric selected for awnings. Woven acrylic fiber awnings can withstand 25 mph winds and usually last 8-12 years, compared with 5-6 years for polyester or vinyl awnings. 3.6.47: Awnings shall not be continuous across a facade, but rather relate to each window or bay. Awnings should most often be located over individual windows or paired windows. Above: Awnings at 915 NW 14th Street are appropriate in their coverage and application individually to the windows. Below: at 521 NW 37th Street the dwelling uses appropriate awnings at the entrance and windows as well as a large awning to shade the porch above the garage. Oklahoma City Historic Districts 91
